sails for Queenstown tomorrow. He
speaks in terms of unmeasured admira-
ton of Grand Master Workman Pow
derly, of the Knights of Labor, whom
he met in Minneapolis, and said he was
glad to have had the opportunity of ad-
dressing the great convention of
the order while there. His present
visit, he said, was entirely of a business,
or, he might say, commercial character,
and was undertaken in the Interest of
the Irish woolen industry. which there
in the near future if a favorable market
could be found for the product of Irish
looms in the United States, of which he
had no doubt. Mr.. Davitt expects to
pay another visit to America early next
spring and make a much longer stay.

the North American Review on ''Why [
Am Heathen," is in this city, and
towering with rage. He says he has
been naturalized American since 1874.
when he took out final papers at Grand
Rapids, Mich, that he is an assistant in
spector of the New York port. and yet
ON his entry into Canada last Thursday
he was duly appraised, tagged and taxed
by custom officials, and condemned to
pay $50 duty. He protested long and
loud. .and put in an affidavit made before
United States consul at Clifton, Can. and
yet Collector Winn was obdurate. ''You
are born Chinaman," he said, 'sand
must either pay tax or return to the
United States." The money was paid
under protest. Wong Chin Foo is angry,
and insists that he will make it hot for
the collector, and many Canadians agree
with him in denOuncing the pig-headed-
ness Of the official. He has been in
Canada before, was for six months a
resident of Montreal and for nearly
year had crossed and recrosSed the bor-
der even under the present law. He had
never before been interfered with. Il

The Glendale Oak.) Commercial says
thai Yorktown produced quite senSa-
ton. The territorial board Of railroad
commissioners arrived there over the
Minneapolis & Pacific road, accom-
panied by the officials of the road. The
commissioners went there to ascertain
whether OF not the company was doing
Yorktown an injustice in refusing to
establish station there, and to investi
gate charges of corruption made against
General Manager Underwood and Right
OF Way Agent LedgerwOOd. The accus-
alton is that these two officials privately
accepted large sum of money from the
owners of the new town of Fullerton for
their influence in building up the latter
place and leaving Yorktown without
station. During the discussion Mr..
Underwood stated that he would give
500 to know who said he was bribed.
Frank Van Liew said he would forfeit
500 If he could not prove to the satis-
faction of the commissioners that some
OF the officials had been bribed. This
created a sensation, and the commits
sloners concluded to probe the matter
further at another meeting. The Com
mercial openly states that sc. w. POr-
ter was authorized to visit the railroad
officials In behalf of Yorktown, and
that the result satisfied the public that
he betrayed the Yorktown people and
secured station for Fullerton, where
his own property is situated"

The flames devoured millions of feet of
lumber and then attacked MOck's saw

Still unsatisfed, the fire leaped
upon the frame dwellings adjacent, and
one after another, as if they were paper,
swept them out of existence. The ter

became weak, and only the fire seemed
to Systematically perform its work. The

to stay the raging element,
but for hours without the
least perceptible effect. The area COW

entrapped Chinese murderer, was in the
cage at the United States marshals
Office here this afternoon in transit from
Rock Island to Alta, Lake county, Utah.
United States District Attorney Ewing
was notified by the department of JUS
tice that a Chinese murderer was on his
way East, probably via Rock Island.
The police there were notified just in
time and laid hands upon All Gung in the
depot. A detective was put in the cell
with him, and in an off hand way
boaSted of several murders, when the
Chinaman, who was only under sus-
piciOn, told vauntingly how he, too, had
gone to the house of white woman
with whom he cOnsorted and asked her
for money. When she refused he picked
up heavy miners candle and stabbed
her seven times with the prong, lntiict-
ing fatal wounds. The crime was COM
mitted in Alta less than week ago.
